Biography

I obtained my undergraduate degree in the framework of a joint program between Novosibirsk State University and École Polytechnique Paris and later completed PhD in the group of Prof. Pierre Suret at Laboratoire de Physique des Lasers, Atomes et Molécules (Lille, France). My research subject was related to the novel field of Integrable Turbulence that studies the dynamics of random waves in integrable nonlinear models. Strong research traditions in the group implied profound development in both experimental and theoretical directions which forms the versatile picture and deep understanding of the subject. Experimentally, the I have contributed to the development of a tool for single-shot detection of ultrafast optical fields which is considered until today to be the state-of-the-art.

Upon joining LPQM group at EPFL, I led a project which pioneered the direction of strongly coupled high-Q optical resonators providing theoretical support. Versatile numerical simulations revealed a number of novel phenomena including soliton hopping, the periodic appearance of commensurate and incommensurate dispersive waves, symmetry breaking related to the discreteness of the system.

Biography

Alessio Zicoschi was born in Rome in 1998. He obtained both his BSc and his MSc with honors in University of Rome “La Sapienza”. For his Master’s Degree Thesis (supervisors C. Palomba and S. Mastrogiovanni), he joined the LIGO-Virgo Scientific Collaboration. The project consisted in the first EM triggered search for continuous gravitational signals generated by r-mode excitations in pulsar PSR J0537-6910. This work led to the writing of the related LIGO-Virgo Collaboration Paper.
Since 2021, Alessio is Ph.D. student at EPFL in the group of Tobias Kippenberg at the Laboratory of Photonics and Quantum Measurements (K-Lab).
